In the years since then, we have heard some chatter about a potential rematch between these two, but if you ask the Brazilian, he has no interest in fighting the Irishman again. As far as Aldo is concerned, McGregor is fighting at 155 and 170lbs now, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/tj-dillashaw-would-like-to-fight-jose-aldo-but-wants-ufc-bantamweight-title-shot-first\/\">while Aldo is established at 135lbs.<\/a> Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/8\/20\/22630976\/jose-aldo-closes-door-conor-mcgregor-rematch-never-ufc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com&#8217;s Guilherme Cruz<\/a>, Aldo shot down a McGregor rematch.<\/p>\n<p id=\"g97THY\">\u201cThat\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand, brother. Back when it should have happened, like they are going [other] rematches and trilogies, I didn\u2019t have the opportunity, no one considered anything, and each one went their way. Now that the situation has inverted again, it feels like they have the obligation to book it,&#8221; Aldo said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vcIp01\">\u201cNo, I don\u2019t see myself fighting Conor. Never, I think. I can even say that. It might happen tomorrow, but that\u2019s not the path. I root for him today, I hope he recovers from the injury and fights again at the highest level and becomes champion again, because that way he and I will always be together. No matter if I\u2019m down and he\u2019s up or the other way around, people will always put out names together, and that way we carry each other up,&#8221; continued Aldo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, man, there\u2019s no way (we rematch). I\u2019m going after a fight for the belt, I want to build this career at bantamweight and make history this way. I\u2019m happy that Sonnen and others are talking about this rematch, but I don\u2019t see myself [fighting him]. I see my next fight being at bantamweight, and that way we\u2019ll be close to fighting for the belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you still want to see a rematch between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo says he will &#8220;never&#8221; have a rematch against his former rival Conor McGregor in the Octagon.
